UN Security Council to vote on competing resolutions proposed by Russia, Brazil to deal with Israel-Hamas war
The UN Security Council met Monday evening to vote on rival Russian and Brazilian resolutions that reflect deep divisions over the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the latest Hamas’ attacks and Israeli retaliation.
The Russian draft resolution, which was scheduled to be voted on first, calls for “an immediate, durable and fully respected humanitarian ceasefire” and “strongly condemns all violence and hostilities directed against civilians and all acts of terrorism.” It never mentions Hamas. The Palestinian UN Ambassador, Riyad Mansour, told reporters before the meeting that “the Arab group is supportive of the Russian draft.”
